David Smith, San JoseMember Since September 2008Artist Statement I was born in England and lived near Manchester until my early twenty's then moved to the San Francisco Bay area about 22 years ago.

I've always had a soft spot for black and white film photography but I also love the flexibility of digital, So why not use both mediums.

I suppose I use photography as an extension of my feelings, sometimes very structured with the clean line of architecture and sometimes darker, gritty and more of an edge. Anyway I hope some of my images make you smile and others stir up feelings.
